Cloth Diapers Vs Disposable Diapers – What is the Best Choice For Your Baby?

Tue, 16 Mar 2010 06:38:51 +0000

One of the most important decisions parents must make for their newborn is deciding whether to use cloth or disposable diapers. The factors parents or caregivers should consider when selecting the best diapers are: health, cost and its impact on the environment. The first and most important factor in selecting the best diaper should concern your baby's health, especially their skin. A common problem in diapering is diaper rash. Here are a couple of quick facts about how diaper rashes occur:

o It happens frequently for babies with sensitive skin (be mindful of new materials on baby's skin and chemicals used to clean or produce diapers.)

o Extended exposure to waste (urine and stool.)

o Diaper lacks circulation (usually occurs in throwaway diapers.)

o Yeast infections (certain antibiotics can contribute to the imbalance of helpful and harmful bacteria.)

o Improper sanitation of cloth diapers.

Parents, please note that diaper rashes are very common, but in order to avoid it, be sure to keep baby's skin clean and dry by changing diapers as needed.

About Disposable Diapers

Some parents prefer disposables because you can simply throw it into a diaper pail and it's very useful when traveling. The positive features are the highly absorbent materials used to contain wetness; the source is usually the absorbent gelling material (AGM) in the center of the diaper that contains moisture from the skin. To prevent diaper rash, be sure to change baby frequently. Unfortunately, these diapers have negative impacts on the environment. It does not break down quickly and therefore packs landfills with its waste. It is costly and associated with increasing time for potty training for children because they cannot feel wetness- due to the absorbent material. Additionally, the bleach used in disposables contains potentially harmful chemicals to enhance their super absorbent capabilities.

About Cloth Diapers

Cloth diapers have evolved and become quite efficient in that they now have Velcro straps. The positive attributes for cloth diapers are no use of materials like AGM or dyes. These materials may affect a baby with sensitive skin. Cloth diapers can be cleaned in-house or by using a cleaning service, both options are proven more economical than disposables. Advocates of cloth diapers agree that disposable diapers negatively impact the environment; conversely opponents argue that the use of resources and energy - electricity and water negatively impacts the environment. Some diaper cleaning services use bleach to clean which can cause the same problems as bleached none reusable diapers. Cloth diapers can also be messy, as you have to clean it yourself, or at the very least rid the waste material. As throwaways are ideal for traveling, cloth diapers are not because you must carry the soiled diapers with you. Diaper covers can be helpful but ultimately it may inconvenience the parent or caregiver.

And the Winner is...

We can't tell you what is right for you and your baby. With any parenting decision you make you always want to consider health first and then rank which is more important to you - finances or the environment. There is a risk of diaper rash for both cloth and disposable diapers. Be sure to change diapers frequently or as needed and use lanolin cream to avoid diaper rashes. From these comparisons, we hope you can make a more informed decision on what is best for your family.

Baby Diaper Review: A Review of the Top 4 Baby Diapers

Best Store Brand: Wal-Mart White Cloud Diapers

After reading hundreds of reviews on this diaper, they are definitely the number one choice. Parents have routinely said it is an economical decision to try an off-brand diaper before buy the more expensive brand name diapers. Doing so can save a family $300 or more each year. With a wide, soft-stretch waist, secure-grip stretch tabs, a cloth-like cover and an ultra-absorbent core White Cloud diapers resist leaks well.

Pros: Very Inexpensive - Highly Absorbent - Quality Performer for its cost

Cons: Durability (not as durable as other brands).

Cost: The estimated cost per diaper is only .13 cents per diaper. This will provide families with tremendous cost savings.

Best Newborn Diapers: Pampers Swaddlers

The Pampers Swaddlers is the best newborn baby diaper because they are made in three sizes to fit newborn babies weighing up to 18 pounds. This is important because the diapers will be form fitting as your newborn grows. Pampers Swaddlers have stretchy sides with overlapping tabs that make securing the diaper a cinch. These diapers also have extra padding in the back specifically meant for inactive babies. The front of the Pampers Swaddlers also folds down to protect your newborns sensitive navel area.

Pros: Variety of Sizes - Additional padding and elastic sides - Fold down front - Snug fit.

Cons: Expensive

Cost: The estimated cost per diaper is .31 cents per diaper. This adds an additional expense but is definitely worth it for your newborn.

Best Leak-Proof Diaper: Pampers Cruisers

This diaper is reviewed as the number 1 diaper in leakage protection, Cruisers are designed for older babies (15- 40 lbs). If you are having troubles with leaky diapers, Cruiser should be considered even though they are a little pricier than a generic store brand diaper.

Pros: Excellent leak protection - Durable fasteners

Cons: Expensive - Not appropriate for younger babies & newborns

Cost: The estimated cost per diaper is .31 cents per diaper. These diapers may cost more, but are well worth it if you are having a problem with leaky diapers.

Best Eco-Friendly Diapers: Seventh Generation

More and more parents are using eco-friendly diapers. These diapers are chlorine and fragrance and latex free, and also hypoallergenic. not only are these diapers good for your baby but also the environment as well. One of the negatives about this diaper is its absorbency. It is not as absorbent as other brands. Some parents also aren't fond of the color: BROWN.

Pros: Chlorine free - Fragrance free - Latex free

Cons: Brown color - Adhesive is too sticky - Absorbency issues

Cost: The estimated cost per diaper is .27 cents per diaper. These diapers may cost more but are a much more environmentally friendly product.

These are the best diapers available to parent's today! Did you know that parents spend an average of $2000 on diapers for their baby before they are potty trained!

How to Use Cloth Diaper Without Hassles

Sun, 14 Mar 2010 04:51:07 +0000

Many parents want to use cloth diapers but think that it's too difficult. It is much easier to grab a disposable diaper and then toss it away when it's soiled. However, it is possible to minimize the hassles of using cloth diapers. Here are some ideas for how to cloth diaper more easily:

Use a diaper service.

If you don't want to even think about what kind of cloth diapers to use, much less wash and dry them, a diaper service is for you. With a diaper service, you receive a week's worth of clean diapers as well as a diaper pail. Just put the dirty diapers in the diaper pail until the new set of clean diapers arrives one week later. This is the easiest way to cloth diaper.

Use disposable diapers sometimes.

Cloth diapering isn't an all or nothing affair. If you find it too difficult to use cloth diapers at night or when you're out of the house, then use disposable diapers at those times. You'll still be minimizing your family's contribution to land fills, as well as your baby's exposure to the chemicals in disposable diapers.

Organize your supplies.

Set up a diaper changing station in convenient areas of your house. At least one upstairs and one downstairs would be ideal. In each changing station, make sure you have a diaper pail, fresh diapers, baby wipes or washcloths (I use spray bottles and washcloths instead of wipes), hand sanitizer, diaper rash cream, diaper covers and whatever else you use whenever changing your baby's diaper. Have a place nearby to air wet diaper covers. A mug tree or wall hooks are great for this.

Make your cloth diapers ready to go.

Fold and arrange the cloth diapers so that they're ready to go with each diaper change. If you use pocket diapers, stuff them with diaper liners as soon as you take them out of the dryer. Stack them up in a diaper stacker, just as you would disposable diapers. Then when you're changing baby's diaper, you just grab one and go.

Use the dry pail method.

Place wet and soiled diapers in a dry pail; don't put water in it. The wet pail method is messy, stinky and potentially dangerous. Small children can drown in even a few inches of water. Besides, the dry pail method is much more hygienic. Sprinkle the bottom of the pail with some baking soda, to cut on odors. Cover the pail and your room won't stink.

Cloth diapering doesn't have to be complicated or burdensome. With a little planning and organization, it can be quite pleasant and almost as convenient as disposable diapers. Give it a try and you'll soon come up with your own way of how to cloth diaper more conveniently.

I have 2 autstic children 7 and 6 my boy has decided he don't like his diaper changed anymore. We are trying to teach him to use the potty but he hasn't got it yet. He don't talk so he can't tell us when he has to go. It has gotten to the point that it takes 2 people to change him. We don't always have 2 people to change 1 diaper. I also have an 11 year old boy.

Go Green With Cloth Diapers And Save Money!

Sat, 13 Mar 2010 03:34:30 +0000

Many people choose to use cloth diapers because of environmental reasons or because they feel it's more comfortable for the child. Some people use cloth to be more natural or to keep chemicals away from their baby's skin. And still others make this choice of the cost factor. With our first child I chose cloth diapers because I wanted to avoid anything toxic touching her skin and I wanted to save the planet at the same time! I started off with cloth with our second child, then switched to Seventh Generation disposables after a short time. What can I say? I was a less 'perfect' mommy the second time around! (I'm just kidding - diapers will never, ever determine how wonderful of a mommy you are!)

You can save a lot of money by using cloth diapers instead of disposables, but you can also spend a lot more if you're not careful. If you're looking for more environmentally friendly, less toxic ways to diaper without breaking the bank, here are some ways you can do it.

Go traditional. Use prefolds and diaper covers. Prefolds are the least expensive type of cloth diapers available and you can get good, quality diaper covers without spending a lot, either. Prefolds generally run between one and three dollars each and covers usually cost anywhere from seven to fifteen dollars each. This is a great way to save money when diapering! Of course you could spend even less money if you have some sewing skills -sew your own prefolds and save a few more dollars.

Buy one-size diapers. Don't want to use prefolds? If you would prefer a diaper system that includes fitted, pocket or all-in-ones, then using one-size diapers can save you a lot of money. One-size diapers are generally designed to fit from around 8 to 12 pounds up to around 25 to 35 pounds and are meant to be used from soon after birth to right up to potty training. Basically this means you buy fewer diapers since you don't need to keep buying the next size up.

I tried both the prefolded and the all-in-ones and I LOVED the all-in-ones! Easy, easy, easy.

Use a clothesline. A clothesline is a great thing to have around anyway if you're going to be using cloth diapers since sunning diapers can help take out stains. But it's also a great thing to have around to help save some money on your electric bill every month and help out the environment. Instead of tossing your diaper load into the dryer everytime, hang it on the clothesline every other wash and save yourself some money.

Buy used. There are lots of places you can buy used cloth diapers over the internet and this is a great way to save some money, especially if you want to use modern diapers like pockets or all-in-ones. Many people will buy a few diapers to try a new brand or a new style and find they don't work for them and then sell them, so you might even be able to get some barely used diapers this way. Try to use a site that has user ratings so you can have an idea of how reliable and honest the person you are purchasing from is. Look for diapers that are in good or excellent condition so you can get lots of use out of them. Make sure to give them a thorough cleaning before using them on your little one.

This is how we stocked up on plenty of all-in-one cloth diapers. E-Bay to the rescue! We saved a ton by doing our homework and found some great prices.

Sell your used diapers. Consider selling your diapers after your baby has outgrown them or if a particular style isn't working for you. You won't be able to recoup all the money you spent buying them new, but you can get a good percentage back if your diapers are in barely used or excellent condition.

Read reviews. Browse through sites that house cloth diaper reviews before you purchase. This is a good way to get an idea of whether or not a certain style diaper might work for you (thus, saving you money because you'll be less likely to buy things you don't end up using). It also is a great way to find out which diapers are built to last. Try to find reviews from people who have been using a diaper for awhile - this will help you to know which diapers will stand up to the tons of washing you will give them. This leads to the last tip:

Keep your used diapers for future children. This is one way that families can really get a lot of bang for their buck when using cloth diapers. If you spend only a couple hundred dollars building up a cloth diaper stash for your first baby and can use most of those diapers for your second or even your third baby - that is a huge amount of savings over buying disposables for each child. Buying quality diapers that are made to last and making sure you care for your diapers the way the manufacturer recommends are two ways to keep your diaper stash usable for baby after baby.
